And in West Virginia, two activists have halted work at a Massey Energy mountaintop removal site after occupying a pair of treetops above Pettry Bottom and Peachtree. The tree-sitters are members of Climate Ground Zero and Mountain Justice, which have staged a series of recent actions against mountaintop removal. The activists are calling on Massey Energy to stop the blasting and fund healthcare and home repair for local residents.
